Locked Out Of Heaven — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
53 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Locked Out Of Heaven" by Bruno Mars: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of Bb, 145 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with B♭ major territory — a key that feels unfamiliar at first but quickly becomes second nature once your hands learn the neighborhood.
Your left hand gets a walking bass line, so practice that separately at around 100 BPM before bringing it up to the full 145; the steady motion needs to feel automatic so it doesn't pull focus from your right hand's chord work.
Watch the shift between Gm7 and Csus4 especially — that suspension wants to resolve, and rushing it is the most common stumble I see.
The power chords (B♭pow, Cpow) are your friends here: they're slim two-note shapes that give you breathing room during faster passages.
Try looping the chorus progression hands-together at a slow tempo until the Dm–F–C–B♭ movement feels like muscle memory, then gradually speed up.
This is the song that'll lock in your comfort with flat-key chord transitions, and that skill pays off in dozens of pop tunes down the road.
